With constant notifications and shared posts, news publishers face increased pressure to get their content discovered and be in front of as many readers as possible.
To help news publishers who have already joined Bing webmaster community to efficiently deliver content to Microsoft Start users on Bing, News and Feed, we are launching the Bing News PubHub as part of the Bing Webmaster Tools.

What we look for
Bing News uses the following criteria to help evaluate the news websites:
- Newsworthiness – Reporting on timely events and topics that are interesting to the people using our services. Content that does not focus on reporting, such as how-to articles, job postings, advice columns, product promotions, is not considered newsworthy. Similarly, content that consists strictly of information without including original reporting or analysis, such as stock data and weather forecasts, is not considered newsworthy.
- Originality – This includes unique facts or points of view. Faced with numerous sources frequently reporting similar or identical content, originality or uniqueness becomes a critical way to determine the value to a user of an individual story.
- Authority –News sites with authority maintain the highest level of trust and respect from our users. Submissions must identify sources, authors, and attribution of all content.
- Readability –Content containing correct grammar and spelling and that keeps site design easy for people to navigate. Advertising should never interfere with the site experience.
However, if you still need further personal assistance, please contact us through our support channel and we will reach out to you.
